Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail into
the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the
graduated end and center hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges
first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical.
Position flag angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door;
tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat same
process for other side.
IMPORTANT: THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES MUST BE DOOR WIDTH PLUS
3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERATION.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK:
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the
other lag screws. Repeat for other side.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the
other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are
touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts.
Repeat for other side.
